{This post only makes sense if you read the previous post!}

Here it is! The Top Hits of 1974! In order! Mostly!

These are the ones whose tune pops right into my head when I read the title and/or artist. I left out the ones that didn't.

all of those were from 1974? wow. lots of great songs on that list! i was dead that year, so most of my memories of those hits are from when i'd hear them on the easy listening station in dad's woodshop as a kid in the 80's.
